Let x be the number of dimes, then the number of nickels is x - 3, the number of quarters is x + 3.
\n" ); document.write( "Their total value is 10x + 5(x - 3) + 25(x + 3)
\n" ); document.write( "As the total value is $4.60(or 460 cents), we can set up an equation:
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 5(x - 3) + 25(x + 3) = 460
\n" ); document.write( "Solving for x, we have
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 5x - 15 + 25x + 75 = 460
\n" ); document.write( "40x = 400
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "So the number of dimes is 10.
\n" ); document.write( "The number of nickels is x - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7.
\n" ); document.write( "The number of quarters is x + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
